WRT54G2 wireless to be used with Comcast?

Question

Hello

I bought a new WRT54G2 linksys wireless today and im a subscriber of COMCAST DSL+CABLE. i followed the set-up guideline in the CD during installation step-by-step yet no avail specially in the process of network configuration (step 4/4 in the set-up CD),

i have tried to set-it-up manually,

(which is Computer / Ethernet cable connected to the WRT54G2 + COMCAST MODEM INTERNET CHORD connected to the WRT54G2)
*LIKE WHAT THE SET-UP SUGGEST*

i can now access internet but im wired using the set-up above,
my problem is that, when i try to access 192.168.1.1 (which is mostly suggested to access to configure the wireless options etc...)
and entered the indicated default password in the guide :
" When prompted , leave the user name blank and type in the password to your router " default is "admin" (w/o the quotes).
i cannot access the said address and i stuck at this point.

i tried to reset / unplug everything but still no avail...

(Sorry for my bad english =[ )

Answer 1

admin

admin

is mostly the default username and password...



if not, hold the reset button on the router in for 30 seconds....

this should clear any settings changed from default so that you can log in.



if your issue is that you can not get to the router logon page...

While connected to the interent...

go to (windows) Start - RUN - type CMD into the text area and hit Enter...

(in vista Start - search for RUN)

now type TRACERT GOOGLE.COM (space after TRACERT)...

you will see a 192.168.xxx.xxx number in the second or so set that display... that 192.168.x.x number will be the IP for your router, that will be what you need to type in your address bar to logon to the router...



if you need more help, e-mail me.

Answer 2

Set it up using the CD with the modem connected directly to the computer. After you get the internet working this way connect the modem to the correct internet port on the router and then connect a cable between the computer and router.



Then enter the address and set up the router from there.

Answer 3

I do hope you are not trying to connect to your router wirelessly. Linksys has long had a default setup on all their routers to disable wirelessly configuration of the device. This only makes sense. Connect with a wired box and try again.



Good luck.
